Apple is reportedly close to finalising an agreement to pay Google about $1 billion each year for access to a custom artificial intelligence model that will upgrade the core technology behind Siri. The partnership aims to deliver more sophisticated features to Apple's voice assistant, addressing delays in its AI overhaul.

Deal focuses on custom Gemini model

As per Bloomberg, Apple will license a 1.2 trillion parameter version of Google's Gemini AI model specifically tailored for Siri. This model will power key functions such as summarisation and planning, while some elements of Siri will still rely on Apple's proprietary systems. The arrangement serves as a temporary solution until Apple deploys its own comparable technology.
